We generalize the Ensemble Geometric Phase (EGP), recently introduced to classify the topology of density matrices, to finite-temperature states of interacting systems in one spatial dimension (1D). This includes cases where the gapped…
Meaningful topological invariants for mixed quantum states are challenging to identify as there is no unique way to define them, and most choices do not directly relate to physical observables. Here, we propose a simple pragmatic approach…

We show that the thermodynamic limit of a many-body system can reveal entanglement properties that are hard to detect in finite-size systems -- similar to how phase transitions only sharply emerge in the thermodynamic limit. The resulting…
